July 15, 2019 July 15, 2019 July 15, 2019 July 15, 2019 Jive Talkin' http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/barry-goes16.png To quote another great icon of years past, "Missed it by THAT much." While Hurricane Barry only made it to a Category 1 level, and is now "merely" a tropical depression, it certainly made itself known to our southeast. It now resides just to our east as said tropical depression, nearly skirting the OK/AR state line around Ft. Smith as indicated by the storm's titular namesake in the above map, in all his 1970's hirsute glory. And feel free to look up both "titular" and "hirsute." I did. Here's the official National Hurricane Center view. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/Barry.png The rainfall map is very impressive. This is only for the last day, but still some very hefty amounts. And it's also a prime example of how the eastern side of those tropical systems tend to have the greater rainfall footprints. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/barry-rainfall.png http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/latest.flood.gif There is still the potential for 2-6 inches of rainfall from the system as it moves off to the east and continues to unravel. Eastern Oklahoma could still get just a bit, but not much it would appear. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/barry-rainfall-potential.gif http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/nws-tulsa-Barry-rainfall.png Now that's it. Excitement over. Back to the summer doldrums. Watch for the heat index to once again rise to dangerous levels as we go through the week. And it won't just feel like a fever on Saturday. You'll also have Tuesday Night Fever, Wednesday Night Fever, etc. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20190715/nws-norman-weekly.planner.png Gary McManus State Climatologist Oklahoma Mesonet Oklahoma Climatological Survey (405) 325-2253 gmcmanus@mesonet.org ================================================== The OCS/Mesonet Ticker https://ticker.mesonet.org/ To subscribe or unsubscribe from the Ticker or for questions about the Ticker or its content Phone or Email the Ticker Manager at OCS Phone: 405-325-2253 Email: ticker@mesonet.org --------------------------------------------------- -C- Copyright 2024 Oklahoma Climatological Survey ===================================================
